     Would it be possible to add some easy access to the posts saved as Favorites? Say, we have "My Posts" at the top, we may also have "My Favorites" there.

    Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.

    I really like that idea, but the space might be a little cramped on a low resolution setup. In any case, I'm definitely for this suggestion.

    Thanks

    Yes, a future site redesign will make your favorites easier to access.

    I hope the Share My Favourites feature will be enabled; it would be nice to be able to flag a subset of our favourites for sharing since we do not necessarily want to share 100% of our favourites.

    The site software supports the following favorite types:

    1. Users
    2. Posts
    3. Forums

    On each of the 3 types, you can choose to share, or not to share.  But you can't choose to share or not share individual items in each type.

    Hi Terri,

    by favourite users, I assume you mean "Friends".

    In my profile, I have checked "Share Friends".

    Fans, a.k.a. "Users Watching You" are automatically shared AFAIK.  Possibly, they are controlled by the same check box as "Share Friends" but I do not think that is the case.

    "Share Favourite Posts" is also a check box.  Each post in the favourites has a checkable control for the purpose of deleting it; a similar approach could be taken to allow for more granular sharing.

    Same for Share Favourite Sections which I assume may mean "forums".

    Bottom line:  granular sharing is possible and (for me) desireable.

    Note:  even though I have checked "Share Favourite Posts", when I click "View Public Profile", my favourites do not show up; AFAIK, this particular sharing feature is broken.  I think you and I discussed that some time ago but I can not recall your explanation.

    @ Terri ... it's not clear how and where I would add favourite forums.

    Please advise.
